    Orpington Hen With Crop Issues. Gas in Crop Today. (Been Observing for Two Weeks. Long Post.)

    My darling Pomona (lavender Orpington hen, a little over two years old) has been having crop issues that we've been observing for two weeks, with a vet visit in between. We don't know what's going on, and would appreciate some guidance. I've written all our observations for background, but...

    Laying Pullet Has Tail Pointed Down. Need Ideas for How to Help Her.

    Thanks for helping. My 29-week-old Favaucana (Easter Egger) pullet, Celestine, has had her tail pointing aggressively down yesterday and this morning. She started laying eggs on November 7, and all the eggs we've found have been perfect and petite, with no issues. One other of her sisters is...

    [8 Week Update] All Pullets? - 6 Week Old Easter Eggers (Favaucanas)

    I got these three sexed from My Pet Chicken, but I'm always going to worry because I'm not allowed roosters. They all feathered/matured really quickly compared to my Orpington chicks last year! I know that it's impossible to see their legs in these photos, but all their legs look similar to one...

    Pullet's Comb Turning Grey!? Please Advise!

    Please help me understand what's wrong with my little one. I had an Ameraucana pullet die at 17 weeks old on May 12 of avian leukosis. I had an Ameraucana pullet die at 18.5 weeks of Marek's on June 5. Now my 16.5 week old lavender Orpington named Opal suddenly has a grey comb. I hope you...

    Hard Lump Under Pullet's Earlobe

    There's a hard lump under my pullet's earlobe. I searched through many "earlobe" threads on here, but none of them seemed to address exactly what's going on. Please help. 1) Minerva Louise is a black Ameraucana pullet, approximately 15 weeks old. We weighed her last week at 1 lbs, 11.8 oz...

    Easter Egger Egg Color Help

    Hello. I am interested in getting Favaucanas, which are Easter Eggers made from a cross between a Faverolles and an Ameraucana. My Pet Chicken says this about their offerings: "Because our BBS Favaucanas are F1 (first generation), there is a 1/16 chance that your Favaucana will not lay a green...

    Why Won't My Teenagers Roost? How to Train?

    I've had four young chickens for the past two weeks. They're in a makeshift brooder in the house, and there are no older chickens. At this point, I have a 6-week-old, a 7-week-old, and two 10- through 12-week-olds. At night, they don't go up on their roost bar to sleep. They'll sleep in a puppy...

    Are they all pullets? Ameraucanas and Orpingtons

    Hello, BYC. I posted my black Ameraucana to the Ameraucana breed discussion thread, asking if she was a pullet, but there weren't as many responses as I typically see on threads here. I'm going to post all of my little ones here. I'm very paranoid that any number of them will turn out to be boys...

    Detailed "Breed Selector" Tool?

    Hello, all, I'm looking for a tool to help select possible breeds/varieties to get in the future. The My Pet Chicken one is is the selector tool that's the most detailed I've found so far, but it still lacks in criteria that I want. Details that are important to me: comb type/cold hardiness...

    Finally Joined

    Hello, I've been a long-time user of BYC, but only as a lurker. I finally decided to join today. Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I had chickens twice as a youngster, around my middle school years. The first batch was a hen and rooster that were Easter Eggers, but...
